Over hasty in my last post so please disregard and read this instead. May be talking to myself but good to have somewhere to record this while I try to understand it.
This is what my checks so far reveal:
1. No obvious errors in SKY HD EPG.
2. No instances on Humax HDR Fox-T2 Freeview EPG where content marked as HD proved to be SD (and when it was upscaled HD on ITV this had been shown in the I-pane when using the EPG).
3. Numerous instances where the Humax Freeview EPG failed to flag content as HD when it fact it was. Most of these so far have been on BBC1 HD and BBC HD, but some on 4HD.
4. In all cases where content was HD (even when not originally flagged as such in the Freeview EPG, including the EPG I-pane) the recordings were encrypted as HD and icons displayed correctly on the screen when playing.
5. In all instances where when setting a recording on an SD channel a HD version was also available but no alert appeared, the HD version was not flagged as such anywhere in the Freeview EPG.
6. When viewing SD programmes on HD channels the I-pane shows them as being HD. Similarly when SD programmes are recorded from a HD channel they show as being encrypted as HD.
I have also seen some apparent inconsistencies in the online Radio Times but need to look at these more closely.
Of course I may not have checked a large enough number of programmes for all or any of the above to be conclusive.
